The last Christmas-y character analysis is George Bailey, main character of the famous Christmas movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. Do you watch it when they play it this time of year?

SATURN & MOON

Since George ends up all depressed and wishing he hadn’t been born, he’s very dark-side there, so I immediately thought this is a guy who has Saturn in his 1st house. No matter how happy-go-lucky the rest of your chart may be, Saturn in the 1st house will tone it down in a big way. George takes on too much responsibility as well, which is very Saturnian. I think his Moon would be conjunct Saturn, adding to it all, and to his difficulty with dealing.

RISING

I like Virgo for George’s rising, Moon, and Saturn. Virgo is a sign of service, and you serve others and their needs more than your own. Virgo is also very practical, and makes you too hard on yourself.

SUN, MERCURY, & VENUS

This one is easy, Pisces and the 7th house. George is super compassionate and caring for others, putting them first and way ahead of himself. This is very Pisces + 7th house (and the reversed, Libra + 12th house). Plus he’s actually very sensitive and vulnerable, which is the Pisces influence. It would also make this trio opposite his Saturn, adding to his difficulty with taking on too much and weighing himself down with worry.

MARS

I like Mars in Sagittarius and the 4th house. The 4th house is the house of home and family, which is very important for George. Mars in Sagittarius tends to be more optimistic, but it would be square his rising, Saturn, Sun, Mercury, and Venus, all hard aspects, showing it’s hard for him to really assert himself and take control. Plus, Mars, ruler of injury and the head, square the Sun, ruler of the self, and Venus, ruler of the senses, and Mercury, ruler of the 1st house, would equal the hearing loss his sustains when young, along with Saturn, planet of restriction, opposite his Sun, Venus, and 1st house ruler.

The basics: A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to be moving backwards from our vantage point here on Earth. It isn't actually moving backwards, it just appears that way. Mercury turns retrograde most often because it's nearest to us, about 3-4 times per year, and lasts for several weeks. When a planet retrogrades, what that planet rules tends to be thrown off, along with what the sign it's retrograding in rules.

With Mercury retrograde, we experience a shadow and a storm. The shadow period starts when Mercury first hits the point in the zodiac it will turn direct at, and ends when it last hits the point in the zodiac it will turn retrograde at. Most people don't feel the effects of Mercury retrograde until it enters the storm period though. The storm period of Mercury retrograde is when Mercury is moving at its slowest, less than 40 minutes per day. Mercury is a fast-moving planet and hates it when he's moving slowly. There's usually two storm periods, one around the time Mercury turns retrograde, and one around when it turns direct.

The shadow of this Mercury retrograde begins January 5th and ends March 3rd. The exact retrograde begins January 21st at 10:54AM ET and ends February 11th at 9:57AM ET. The first storm period is January 18th - 25th, and the second storm period is February 7th - 18th.

This Mercury retrograde occurs entirely in air sign Aquarius, which rules friendships, groups, charity, humanitarianism, the future, the internet, and our hopes, dreams, and wishes for our lives. So all of that is screwed! LOL We can be too optimistic or pessimistic, looking toward the future and thinking everything is going to go to hell in a handbasket, or being delusional and thinking things will work out fine when they're falling apart right in front of us. We can find it hard to hope, to dream, and second-guess the dreams we have for ourselves, our communities, our countries. This is made worse by the fact that we're bickering with the people that are supposed to be our friends, having a hard time getting along with anyone, even pretending to. We can see countries back at war with one another again that had called a truce, or countries at war take a step back for a moment.

Groups can be a problem, those we belong to, and those that congregate for one reason or another. Whenever we see problems come about, it may stem from a group more often than not. Crowds = problem. We have a hard time reaching out and helping the world on a grand scale, not wanting to or experiencing complications, or we have to help in ways that we did before and didn't think we'd have to again. We have a hard time grasping things on a large scale, and looking at the world with more objective eyes.

And the internet, the thing that our whole world hinges on now. We have more problems accessing it, we hear/see more about it being restricted in some places or to some people, it's used against people/countries, or some sort of internet scandal breaks out. No matter what, back up your important files, and wipe out anything incriminating!

The Mercury retrogrades this year will occur in the air signs, which are social signs, so we can find that in general, we have a harder time getting along, being sociable, and relating to one another. These are also the signs of the mind, so Mercury retrograde will screw up our communications even more this year.

This Mercury retrograde makes two positive major aspects while in retrograde, a sextile to transit Uranus on January 28th, and a sextile to transit Saturn on February 5th. We can adjust easier to the changes being made with Uranus, and try to wrangle them, getting them under control with Saturn. One thing to note is that the end of this Mercury retrograde will be square (hard aspect) the solar eclipse of October 23rd 2014, so we could see some difficulties associated with things that came about from that eclipse at the end of the retrograde.

The turn retrograde begins at 17 degrees Aquarius, so those of you Aquarians born February 6th - 8th may feel the turn retrograde most. The turn direct occurs at 1 degree Aquarius, so those of you Aquarians born January 23rd and earlier may feel the turn direct most.

For the rest of you, check the house(s) Mercury will be retrograding in of your own natal chart, and any aspects Mercury will make during its retrograde to your natal planets, to fully understand how it will impact you personally.

If you have Mercury retrograde in your natal or progressed chart, you may not feel the worst of this. Those individuals generally don't experience the difficulties of the retrograde because it feels more natural to them. Of course, chances are everyone else around them doesn't have the same aspect, so they can still experience difficulties brought on by others.

January 2015 Full & New Moons: Full Moon in Cancer & New Moon in Aquarius

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition. A new moon occurs when the transit Sun and Moon are in the exact same spot in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of new opportunities, growth, and optimism.

For information on how the new/full moons may impact your sign, read the monthly horoscope.

January 4th 2015 Full Moon in CancerA full moon occurs at 11:53PM ET at 14 degrees 30 minutes of Cancer. In Cancer, we’re sensitive to small slights, and easily wounded. Our feelings are heightened, and we’re deeply in touch with our emotions. We crave comfort, familiarity, family, and a home. We can see theending or culmination of something regarding real estate or countries. This full moon squares (hard aspect) transit (moving) Uranus in Aries, and opposes transit Pluto in Capricorn. We fight against those who wish to hold us back and make us conform, rising up against those we feelneed to be taken down. There could be some civil unrest with this full moon, rebelling against authority, and wanting to take back our homes. If you're a Cancer Sun, Moon, or mid-Cancer rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most.January 20th 2015 New Moon in AquariusA new moon occurs at 8:14AM ET at 0 degrees 8 minutes of Aquarius. In Aquarius, we embrace the new, the different, the unique, and want to be our true, authentic selves. We throw away our facades and proudly display our inner freak. We want to be accepted as we are, and areaccepting of others. We’re interested in the unusual, and are willing to see things in new ways, be a little eccentric, and open up our minds. We look toward the future, and everything it holds for us. We’re idealistic with our hopes and dreams, but we could probably use a little idealism. That strain of rebellion from the full moon continues, but we’re more positive about it, and try to do something constructive with the energy. If you're an Aquarius Sun, Moon, or rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most.

ARIES DECEMBER 2014

It’s a busy month of December! Mars, your ruler, enters air sign Aquarius on December 4th, and you have more mental energy now, and think long and hard about things. You can study something, and you’ll uncover everything you can, becoming an expert on it. You have energy when you work toward your future, and the dreams that you have. You can spend a lot of time thinking about your dreams, and what you hope to achieve in your life. You can spend more time with friends, and want to make new friends. You want to be surrounded by people who are of the same mind as you, want the same things, have the same beliefs. You enjoy spending time in groups, and you can do good things in a group, acting as the leader.

Venus enters earth sign Capricorn on December 10th, and you enjoy working toward your goals and experiencing success. You want to achieve goals, get recognition for your work, and make good impressions on the right people. You can get along well with parents, bosses, and mentors. If single, you can meet someone through a parent, boss, or mentor, who is much older than you and has a higher status in life. If in a relationship, you’re colder and more distant with your partner. This is a good time for you if you work in the arts or beauty industry, or have to deal with negotiations with your work.

Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn on December 16th, and the Sun joins both of them in Capricorn on December 21st. You can concentrate on the work you have to do, and you won’t lose your focus. You feel best when you’re working at achieving your goals. The more success you have, the better you feel about yourself, but you shouldn’t tie your self-esteem to your professional wins and losses. You’re ambitious, can come up with plans that are realistic for attaining your goals, and can have an important conversation about your goals. You can think about the direction your life is going in, and assess if it’s the right path for you. You may be in the spotlight or are praised for work that you’ve done. You can accomplish a great deal of work this month. You may come across as more practical, hard-working, and disciplined.

Saturn enters a new sign, fellow fire sign Sagittarius, on December 23rd. Saturn has been in Scorpio for the last few years, and will now begin his time in Sagittarius. For Aries, Saturn in Sagittarius will probably feel like a load off of you. Saturn in Scorpio was an incredibly serious period for you, and now, you can feel a lot lighter. Scorpio rules your most serious, heaviest sector, and Sagittarius rules the lightest, so you go into an easier period now. Still, you do have to deal with Saturn and his lessons. So what are the lessons for Aries? With Saturn in Sagittarius, you can evaluate your beliefs, and many of you will undergo a change in your belief system, or at the very least, question your belief system. Those of you who have followed what your parents or family believed and not really thought much about it will think about it now, and some will strengthen their beliefs while others abandon them. Some of you may decide to go back to school with Saturn here, especially if you struggled with school earlier in life, or didn’t finish what you started. It’ll begin to bother you, and you’ll want to work on it, proving to yourself what you can do. Travel to far away places isn’t advised under this influence, unless it’s for work or some very important reason. If that’s not the case, you either won’t travel far at all with Saturn here, or you’ll experience all manner of problems whenever you try to. Don’t do anything that can get you in trouble with the law while Saturn is in Sagittarius, because you won’t be able to run from it. If you’ve been avoiding a legal issue, you’ll have to face it. Generally, you’ll feel more restricted in your life, and meet resistance or roadblocks whenever you try to expand your life in new ways. You’ll need to make sure you’ve made plans, done your homework, are acting responsibly, and are doing the right thing whenever you want to succeed at expanding your world.

Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fellow fire sign Leo on December 8th, and over the coming months, you can be lazier with your loved ones than usual, experience more rebellion from children that you’re around, and lack inspiration, especially with creative activities.

Uranus ends its retrograde in your sign, Aries, on December 21st. Over the last few months, you’ve felt like you’ve wanted to make changes but couldn’t, or wanted things to stay the same and nothing did. Now that the retrograde is over, you can take control over the changes that are made. Just try not to be so impulsive because that will keep things difficult for you.

A full moon occurs in air sign Gemini on December 6th, and you can finish a bunch of small projects or an important mental task, settle a dispute with a sibling or neighbor, or have a piece of technology die on you. Words have a greater impact on you, and what people say to you matters. You feel every word you speak, and you can communicate your feelings with greater ease. Use this time to logically analyze your emotions so you have a greater understanding of them. A new moon occurs in Capricorn on December 21st, and you can begin a new project for your career, are presented with a new opportunity to pursue a big idea, and feel ambitious. You think big, and you believe in yourself and your abilities.

TAURUS DECEMBER 2014

What a busy December! On December 4th, Mars enters air sign Aquarius. You’re much more driven to succeed and more ambitious than usual. You can be a hard worker, and you want nice things, but sometimes you have trouble creating goals for yourself and attaining them. You don’t have that problem now. You focus on your goals, create new ones, and know exactly what you want. You can figure out exactly how you can attain them, what steps you have to take, and you’re confident in your abilities. This can be an excellent time to make strides professionally. You get further along your life path, going in the right direction, and feel that you’re building a solid foundation for your future. This isn’t a great time for your personal life though, as you focus more on your professional one.

On December 10th, your ruler, Venus, enters fellow earth sign Capricorn. You enjoy expanding your life in new ways, having new experiences, and exploring the world. Let out your inner adventurer and have some fun. This is a good time to travel for fun, to go back to school, or to study another culture. If single, you can meet someone from another country, who has a totally different background for yourself, or who is a teacher or writer, and you keep things casual at first, not wanting to be tied down. If in a relationship, you want to have fun with your partner, and are a little daring.

On December 16th, Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn, and on December 21st, the Sun joins them both in this sign. You can come up with big ideas that you’re excited about but may not do much with. You can talk a big game, entertain people when you speak, and tell grand stories about wild adventures. You have an optimistic outlook, and not much can get you down. You feel most like yourself when you’re exploring the world and having new experiences, so open yourself up. You can be too closed sometimes, Taurus, so use this chance to become more open to the world. There are many experiences to be had, just waiting for you to grab them and take a chance. You might just surprise yourself and have a lot of fun. If you get the chance to travel, do so. This is an excellent time for writing, speaking, and schooling. You may come across as more daring, bold, and gregarious.

On December 23rd, Saturn enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius. It’s been in water sign Scorpio, the sign opposite yours, for the last few years, and now begins a tour through a new sign. For Taurus, Saturn in Sagittarius puts this planet in a serious, heavy sector for you. While Saturn was in Scorpio, you had to face your relationship issues, especially those related to commitment, and with the move into Sagittarius, you now have to focus on your issues with intimacy. If you have a hard time really opening up to other people and letting them get deep inside of who you are, that’s going to be the lesson you have to learn with Saturn in Sagittarius. You can see problems come up in your close relationships with the people you feel you have the greatest bonds if you’re not actually as bonded as you think you are, or it’s a one-sided relationship. Casual relationships where there isn’t an emotional connection go by the wayside, and you crave intimacy like your life depends on it. You have little patience for silliness and superficiality in general, and have a much more realistic outlook on life, but can get dragged into pessimism and sucked into despair if you’re not careful. Only is rare circumstances is life 100% doom and gloom, and your life probably isn’t one of those exceptions, so don’t act like it is. You’ll be very difficult to be around if you do, and it’ll just be harder to have the closeness with people you want. If you’re a possessive, jealous person, you’ll have more problems now. Sex needs to have meaning, and you want to transform yourself and your life in a profound way. If you’ve been held back and kept down, you’ll claw, scratch, and fight your way out. You’ll need to face issues that you hold deep inside of yourself that you normally run as far away from as you can, but there’s no escaping them now. You do so at your own peril. It’s finally time for you to face it.

On December 8th, Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo. Over the next few months, you can be lazy when it comes to your home and family. You get into spats with them, let home improvement projects slide, and feel the walls of your home closing in on you, or that you have too much space and it’s uncomfortable.

On December 21st, Uranus ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries, the sign before yours. Over the last few months, you’ve felt that you wanted to let go of something quickly but couldn’t, or wanted to hold on and lost it fast. Now, you can start to take control over when and where you let go of things, but it’ll likely be at a quick pace.

On December 6th, a full moon occurs in air sign Gemini, the sign after yours. You can finalize a financial arrangement or agreement, terminate a financial agreement, stop a second source of extra income, or take that second source of income and do more with it. You’re also more sensitive to what other people think about you, so don’t pay attention to them. On December 21st, a new moon occurs in Capricorn. You can begin a new writing project, and you get a little obsessed. You can handle serious issues with a positive attitude, and face the truth.

GEMINI DECEMBER 2014

Get ready for a lot of action in December! On December 4th, Mars enters fellow air sign Aquarius, and you’re driven to expand your life and have new experiences. If you feel you’ve been held back, you’ll fight against it and break free, venturing beyond the fences around your life. You have more energy, but you have to make sure you focus and do something with it, otherwise it’ll just be energy to talk a big game and not back it up. This is an excellent time to travel, write, or go to school. You can learn or teach now. You defend your beliefs fiercely, and you identify with them strongly. You find other cultures fascinating, and want to understand the various ways people live.

On December 10th, Venus enters earth sign Capricorn, and you enjoy getting to the heart of any matter. You don’t want to settle for anything less, and will keep going until you find the core. You crave intimacy with your loved ones, but can be too clingy with them. If single, you’re attracted to the tall, dark, silent type, someone brooding yet passionate. If in a relationship, you can be more passionate with your partner and want to spend more time with them, but you can also be possessive, jealous, and suffocating. This is a good time to manage other people’s money (taxes, debts, loans, inheritances, joint finances), or to work on a project that is mutually beneficial.

On December 16th, Mercury, your ruler, joins Venus in Capricorn, and on December 21st, the Sun joins them both in this sign. You focus more on the darker side of life, and have a dreary outlook. You try to be realistic, but you could just be pessimistic. You’re researching, and can investigate any situation to find the root. This is a good time to do something that will help both you and another person financially, especially using technology, or to settle an issue related to joint finances. You can also begin a business partnership or joint venture at this time. You can feel the need to make a change in your life, to take something old and make it new again, breathing new life into something almost dead. You may come across as more intense, seductive, and moody.

On December 23rd, Saturn enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius, the sign opposite yours. It’s been in water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and now begins a tour through a new sign. For Gemini, Saturn in Sagittarius puts Saturn in your relationship sector. When Saturn is here, it’s time to get serious about your relationships. You can no longer go from one to the next romantically, no longer enjoying that or getting any satisfaction from it at all. You can’t keep putting less into your relationships with loved ones than they put in, and you can’t keep running from committing yourself fully to your loved ones. If you do keep doing all of that, you’ll find yourself very, very alone. Actually, some of you may opt for being alone of your own volition, if you need to strengthen your relationship and commitment to yourself. If you put everyone else first and neglect yourself completely, this is a time where you have to focus on that relationship. Whatever relationship and commitment issues you may have, this is the time to work on them. Many of you will see people leave your life, even people you thought were so important to you and your life, and it could be your choice or it could be theirs. No matter what, it probably seems like the end of the world at first. Over time, you realize it was actually necessary. You were either taking advantage of them or taking them for granted and you needed them to walk away to show you what you were doing wrong, or they were taking advantage of you or taking you for granted and you need to let them go and realize your own worth in a relationship. The relationships that survive this period will usually come out stronger, and they’re relationships that will last a long time. Most of you won’t enter into new relationships, but those of you who do will take them more seriously, behave more responsibly, and try to make them as healthy as you can.

On December 8th, Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo, and over the next few months, you’re mentally lazy. You don’t want to focus on anything for very long, and have difficulty dealing with mental projects and tasks. You’re also brutally honest, to a fault, and can stick both feet in your mouth at times.

On December 21st, Uranus ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries. Over the last few months, you’ve felt that your future has changed in way you weren’t happy with, or that the changes you wanted haven’t come through. Now that the retrograde is over, you can take control over the changes that impact your future, and try to create the future you want.

On December 6th, a full moon occurs in your sign, Gemini, and with a full moon in your sign, you reap what you sow. If you’ve been working hard, making good decisions, doing your homework, and acting responsibly, then you can be rewarded during this time, and good things happen for you. If you’ve been lazy, irresponsible, not looking for the information you need, and listening to the wrong people, you can be punished now, and you experience delays, blocks, frustrations, and failures. No matter what, you are more emotional with this full moon. On December 21st, a new moon occurs in Capricorn, and you can have a positive financial development regarding other people’s money, make a transformation of something in your life or of yourself, or come back from the ashes, ready to take names and kick arse.

CANCER DECEMBER 2014

This year ends with a bang! Mars enters air sign Aquarius on December 4th, and your will is strong, you feel powerful, and you can dedicate yourself to something so fully, you’re completely obsessed. Your focus can be unrelenting, and nothing can steer your focus away. This is an excellent time to do something where you need an incredible amount of willpower. You can make something happen just from willing it. Your determination and drive is unparalleled now. The one bad thing is that you might be so obsessed, you ignore the things that are falling apart around you and require your attention. This is a great time for business, and you can do something that’s mutually beneficial. You can also work at improving your situation regarding other people’s money (debts, taxes, loans, inheritances, joint finances). This is also a good time to make a transformation of something in your life. In relationships, you’re more passionate, but also more intense and possessive.

Venus enters earth sign Capricorn, the sign opposite yours, on December 10th, and you enjoy spending time with your loved ones, especially one-on-one. You don’t care to be alone, with strangers, or in a big group, lost in the crowd. You want some real time with the people you care about. You’re easier to get along with as well, charming and compromising. If single, you crave a relationship more, and can meet someone artistic, in the legal profession, or who is very charming. If in a relationship, you’re more romantic with your partner, and spend more time with them.

Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn on December 16th, and the Sun joins both of them in Capricorn on December 21st. You do your best thinking and feel most like yourself when you’re with your loved ones and in one-on-one situations. You benefit from having a partner now, someone to help you see what you’re missing, and support you when you come up with an idea or are presented with a new opportunity. You’re concerned with fairness, justice, and equality, and will fight for the little guy. A loved one or partner could end up in the spotlight, and you can form a new partnership, personal or professional. You also need more balance in your life, and having that helps you feel better. You may come across as more vacillating, graceful, and polite.

Saturn enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius, on December 23rd. Saturn has been in fellow water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and will now begin his time in Sagittarius. For Cancer, Saturn in Sagittarius is a time of hard work and focus. Sagittarius rules your work sector, and while Saturn is here, you have to take your work more seriously and dedicate yourself more to it. When Saturn was in Scorpio, he was in a lighter, happier sector, and you didn’t have to focus on work as much. Now, you have to or you’ll have consequences. Some of you will lose your job, especially if it’s one you hate or you don’t do well with. Others will quit if you heart isn’t in it. For those who stay, you’ll take on more work responsibilities, and it can be a time where you put in a ton of work but don’t have much to show for it. Even if it’s a job you love, you can love it less now, just from all of the work you have to put in. No matter what, you need to make sure you’re doing work that you do love, even if you don’t feel as passionate about it during this time, because if you’re doing something you hate, your work will suffer. Sagittarius also rules your health sector, so for those of you who haven’t taken your health all that seriously, that changes now. Saturn can bring up health issues and make you sick if you haven’t been living a healthy lifestyle as a wakeup call, and force you to focus on your health and make healthy changes. This is an excellent time to change your lifestyle and implement changes that you’ll stick with for a long time. You take the long view with this, and know you need to not only make changes that will help you now, but for many years to come. You also need to work on finding ways to better manage your stress because anxiety can be an issue if you don’t.

Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo, the sign after yours, on December 8th, and over the coming months, you can be lazy when it comes to dealing with financial matters, and you leave it up to other people, but that might not be the best decision. You can splurge too much on things you don’t need, and indulge too much as well.

Uranus ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries on December 21st. Over the last few months, you’ve felt that changes were made in your career or life path you weren’t ready for, or the changes you’ve wanted made couldn’t happen. Now that the retrograde is over, you can take control over the changes.

A full moon occurs in air sign Gemini, the sign before yours, on December 6th, and this is a serious full moon for you. You have to focus on the past. We all have things we need to let go of, and cleaning house is good for us periodically, but it can be an emotional experience. It might not be easy to do, but you have to do it. You also have excellent intuition right now, so listen to it. A new moon occurs in Capricorn on December 21st, and a partner can be presented with a new opportunity, you are through them, or you get an opportunity to do something with a partner. You can also forge a new partnership, and feel good with loved ones.

LEO DECEMBER 2014

There’s a lot going on astrologically in December! Mars enters air sign Aquarius, the sign opposite yours, on December 4th, and you’re driven to focus on your loved ones and relationships. You don’t care so much about being alone right now or focusing on yourself, and put their needs first. You’ll give them the time and attention that they deserve. Oddly, you can also get into more fights with them, but just little spats. With others, you’re good at negotiating deals, at getting people to the table, and finding middle ground. You’re also willing to stand up for anyone who can’t stand up for themselves, and won’t let inequality or injustice happen without a fight. This can be a good time to enter into a new relationship, personally or professionally.

Venus enters earth sign Capricorn on December 10th, and you enjoy getting work done, being productive, and crossing everything off of your to-do lists. You can create lots of lists and keep everything organized so you get the most done possible. You seem to enjoy working above everything else. If single, you can meet someone through your or their work, a coworker, or date a coworker. If in a relationship, you pay attention to the little things with your partner, and are practical with your displays of affection.

Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn on December 16th, and the Sun, your ruler, joins both of them in Capricorn on December 21st. You have an eye for the details now, and you can sift through all of the facts and figures. Your mind is super analytical and logical, practical and focused. You need to keep your mind busy, otherwise you start to feel anxious. You can get through the small stuff easily, but struggle with the bigger stuff. You enjoy working right now, and can be in the spotlight for work that you’ve done, but you don’t do it for the credit. You do it because you believe you can do the best job possible. You can also focus on your health, and work on becoming a healthier person. You’re no spring chicken anymore, and need to take it more seriously. You may come across as more hard-working, efficient, and discriminating.

Saturn enters a new sign, fellow fire sign Sagittarius, on December 23rd. Saturn has been in water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and will now begin his time in Sagittarius. For Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius takes him out of an emotional sector for you in Scorpio and puts him in a sector that you have an easier time with, but you will have to take some things seriously that you probably don’t like to. The main area of life to focus on will be your love life. With Saturn in Sagittarius, you need to be more serious about your love life. You can’t just go from one person to the next, dating but never staying with anyone for long or taking love all that seriously. You just don’t find it fulfilling anymore, and you find yourself wanting real, true love. When you date, it’s to find someone special that you can commit yourself to, not someone for the night. If single, you date less and take a serious approach to selecting who you’ll go out with, and you’re more attracted to serious, practical, responsible types. If you’re in a relationship, you can become more committed to the person you’re with, and some of you can take the relationship to the next level (moving in, buying a house together, getting engaged, getting married). On the other hand, you can also fall out of love, and realize that you don’t want to be with them anymore, or they break up with you. It’s probably meant to be if that happens, and the relationship or the person wasn’t right for you. If that happens, you have to evaluate what went wrong and learn from your mistakes. If you have children, you can have a more difficult relationship with them during this period, or something happens in their life that makes them feel restricted, or you’re stricter with them. Those trying to conceive can have greater difficulty now. If you’re the creative type, you can go through a dry spell, and have difficulty finding inspiration for your creations.

Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in your sign, Leo, on December 8th, and over the coming months, you feel lazier than usual. You have a hard time being motivated to do anything, and you just laze your life away. You can indulge too much, and need to watch for an expanding waistline.

Uranus ends its retrograde in fellow fire sign Aries on December 21st. Over the last few months, you’ve felt like you haven’t had the changes made that you’ve wanted to expand your life and explore the world, or too many changes have been made, thrusting you forward before you were ready. Now that the retrograde is over, you can start to control the changes and expand and explore as you please.

A full moon occurs in air sign Gemini on December 6th, and you can leave a group that you belong to or take on a bigger role, give up on a cause that you champion or become more involved, or end a friendship or make a casual one more serious. You’re concerned about your future, and you can feel it’s time to let go of a dream you have, or are presented with the opportunity to make it a reality. A new moon occurs in Capricorn on December 21st, and you can be presented with a new work opportunity or job, start a new work project, and get lots done on your to-do list. You don’t mind doing the grunt work, and will get it done quickly and well. This is also an excellent time to start a new healthy lifestyle, exercise program or diet.

VIRGO DECEMBER 2014

Get ready for a lot in December! On December 4th, Mars enters air sign Aquarius, and you’re driven to get as much work done as you possibly can. The more work that you have, the more energy you have to do it. As your work load increases, so too does your energy. If you don’t have a lot to do, then your energy levels will be low, and you’ll feel anxious and restless, so make sure you keep busy. You should have a list of things to do handy at all times, and you work on that list constantly. You can get a lot of actual work done, or the tasks and chores that build up at home. This is also a good time for you to focus on your health, especially to begin a new exercise program or join a gym. Your body needs the workout, and if you start now, it could become a permanent fixture in your life.

On December 10th, Venus, enters fellow earth sign Capricorn, and you enjoy focusing on your hobbies, being creative, and having fun. You can spend time with loved ones goofing off, laughing, joking around, and playing. If single, you can be extra flirty and have little trouble meeting someone new, but you keep it casual at first. If in a relationship, you try to make it feel like it did when you first got together, and are more playfully romantic.

On December 16th, Mercury, your ruler, joins Venus in Capricorn, and on December 21st, the Sun joins them both in this sign. You don’t want to focus on anything too serious, and have a more playful attitude. You can laugh at life and not take it seriously. This is an excellent time for creative projects, and you can come up with creative solutions to problems. You may want to take some time away from it all to relax and enjoy yourself. If single, you can meet someone you’re interested in, but you play coy. If you have children, they can be in the spotlight for something. You may come across as friendlier, prouder, and warmer.

On December 23rd, Saturn enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius. It’s been in water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and now begins a tour through a new sign. For Virgo, Saturn in Sagittarius puts Saturn in your home and family sector. This is an emotional sector, and can have a profound impact on you. If you have issues with your family, that comes to light now, and you have to work on those issues, figure out if you want to keep them in your life, or find ways to reconcile with them. At home, you feel more restricted, and you can move to a smaller place so you’re literally more restricted, or have problems with the people you live with that causes emotional restriction. You should try to streamline your home life, and get by with less. Sagittarius rules the sector that governs your inner foundation, so you’ll need to work on strengthening that. If you haven’t given it much thought or time, that has to change. You can’t continue to walk through life without being strong on the inside, and you won’t be able to go forward unless you have a solid internal foundation. Saturn is now at the part of the zodiac that is the very bottom for you, so you have to face some issues that impact you at your very core. They’re the things that have shaped who you are, for better and worse, and you have to confront the emotional challenges. Since this is the very bottom, you have nowhere to go but up, and because of this and the fact that you have to do so much work on your inner foundation or core issues, this can be a time where you feel like you’re starting over again, and are going down a path that you’ll continue to work on for the next 15 or so years of your life. You’re changing, and so your life is changing with you. Don’t fight it like you normally might, and keep that work ethic of yours.

On December 8th, Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo, the sign before yours, and over the next few months, you can be lazy when it comes to cleaning out your life in every way. You don’t feel like lifting a finger to work on letting go and clearing out your space, so it all piles up for a while, and you ignore the garbage that needs to be put out.

On December 21st, Uranus ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries. Over the last few months, you’ve felt like changes were being made that you weren’t ready for, or that you wanted changes that weren’t possible at the time. Now that the retrograde is over, you can jump into the transformations you hope to make, and take control over them.

On December 6th, a full moon occurs in air sign Gemini, and you can achieve a goal if you’ve been working hard and smart, or you can experience setbacks if you haven’t. Something could come to an end for a parent, boss, or mentor. You could find yourself in the spotlight for something you’ve done. You’re more open with your feelings in public. On December 21st, a new moon occurs in Capricorn, and you can begin a new creative project, see an opportunity presented to your children or for you to do something with children, or see an opportunity presented to a family member, to you through them, or for you to do something with family. You can work on a home improvement project, take up a new hobby, let out your inner child, and feel positive about life and at ease emotionally. You benefit from being in touch with your emotions and being more playful.

LIBRA DECEMBER 2014

It’s a busy month to end the year! On December 4th, Mars enters fellow air sign Aquarius, and you’re driven to have fun and do the things that you enjoy. You don’t care as much for work or duty, and when you try to force yourself to deal with those things, your energy wanes. When you’re focused on creative ventures and your hobbies, you have more than enough energy. This is a good time to take up new hobbies or to pursue creative ventures. If you have children, they can be more headstrong. If single, you’re more motivated to fall in love, but you may date a lot without getting very far. If in a relationship, you want to be more romantic with your partner, and make it feel fresh again.

On December 10th, Venus, your ruler, enters earth sign Capricorn, and you enjoy spending time at home, lounging in your pajamas, and not demanding too much of yourself. You want to be in familiar places with familiar people, craving comfort above all else. If single, you can meet someone through a relative. If in a relationship, you want to connect with your partner on an emotional level. You enjoy spending time with your family, and can get along with them better.

On December 16th, Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn, and on December 21st, the Sun joins them both in this sign. You think more about the past, how you feel about the things that have happened to you, and dig up old memories. You have difficulty dealing with cold, hard facts, but you can understand the feelings in any situation. It’s hard for you to separate your emotions from logic, so you’re subjective instead of objective. Anything that happens to you now and impacts you emotionally, you’ll remember forever. You feel most like yourself when you’re with people you know well in places you know well. You want to give and receive attention with your family, or the people you think of as family. You want to stay firmly in your comfort zone, and this isn’t a good time for taking any big risks. You may come across as more emotional, nurturing, and moody.

On December 23rd, Saturn enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius. It’s been in water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and now begins a tour through a new sign. For Libra, Saturn in Sagittarius is a time for you to focus on your mind. If you had trouble with learning, a learning disability, some sort of problem with school, or trouble communicating properly, you can take the time now to work on the issues you have from it and turn it around. You can figure out how your mind works best, and take the time to learn what you couldn’t before or say what you didn’t know how to say. Some of you will find that you actually have trouble communicating now if you haven’t been communicating properly, like you’re doing all of the communicating but you’re not listening to anyone else. If you’re constantly getting a sore throat or have to get your tonsils out, that’s Saturn trying to get your attention to shut up and listen. You can spend more time thinking about things, and take your time when you’re thinking, but you don’t want to share as much, especially if you’re unsure of what people will think. You lack confidence in your ideas, and want to be sure of yourself before you say anything. It’s good to think before you speak, so if you usually don’t, this is a lesson you’ll learn, but if you’re normally too cautious with your speech, you’ll need to learn the reverse. Some of you can have problems with mental illness, especially depression, so if that’s something you’re at risk for, you have to pay special attention to yourself. You focus on serious issues and can get lost in the darkness, so you have to work on finding ways to pull yourself out before you get sucked in. With Saturn here, you can also have trouble with your neighborhood or neighbors, and you get stuck fighting with them. If you have siblings, you can improve a difficult relationship or cut ties with them if they use or abuse you.

On December 8th, Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo, and over the next few months, you can be lazy when it comes to dealing with your friends, the groups you belong to, the causes you champion, and your dreams for your future. You expect everything to fix itself, and can’t be bothered to deal with it.

On December 21st, Uranus ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries, the sign opposite yours. Over the last few months, you’ve experienced changes in your relationships that you didn’t want and weren’t ready for, or you’ve been bored in your relationships, seeing them as stale and bland. Now that the retrograde is over, you can start to make the changes you actually want made. Just don’t be too impulsive.

On December 6th, a full moon occurs in fellow air sign Gemini, and you can come home if you’re abroad, finish a course of study, or settle a legal dispute. You’re more defensive of your beliefs with this full moon, and identify with them too strongly. It’s good to know what you believe, but not good to throw it in people’s faces, try to force it on other people, or blindly follow and defend something you don’t really understand. On December 21st, a new moon occurs in Capricorn, and you can start a new home improvement project, improve relations with your family, especially siblings, see a family member or neighbor get presented with a new opportunity, or do something in your community to better your home.

SCORPIO DECEMBER 2014

We’re ending the year busy! Mars enters air sign Aquarius on December 4th, and you’re energy is dictated by your emotions. The more you feel, the greater energy you have, and you can channel your feelings into action. Conversely, if you’re too upset or can’t wrangle your feelings, the more upset you are, the harder it is for you to control yourself and direct your energy anywhere. You can focus on your home and family, spending more time at home, working on home improvement projects, and sprucing things up. You want to be around your family, but you can have spats with them more. The projects that you work on will likely be well within your comfort zone, and you’re not in the mood for anything that rocks the boat.

Venus enters earth sign Capricorn on December 10th, and you enjoy engaging with others mental. You want the mental stimulation that other people can provide for you, and you try to keep busy, having a packed social calendar. You get along better with siblings and neighbors, and can use technology more. If single, you can meet someone online, through a sibling or neighbor, who lives in your community, or who is younger than you. If in a relationship, you try to connect with your partner mentally, and can converse with them more.

Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn on December 16th, and the Sun joins both of them in Capricorn on December 21st. Your mind moves at a quick pace, and you come up with lots of ideas, share your thoughts, inform and enlighten, and are curious about the world. You have a hard time focusing your mind on anything for very long though, so you go from this to that quickly. Take on lots of small projects to keep your mind occupied. You feel most like yourself when you’re engaging with others. You want to have mental connections, and you want to share what you know. A sibling or neighbor could be in the spotlight, and you could buy a new piece of technology. You may come across as more intellectual, analytical, and scattered.

Saturn enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius, on December 23rd. Saturn has been in your sign, Scorpio, for the last few years, and will now begin his time in Sagittarius. For Scorpio, Saturn in Sagittarius could feel like a load is lifted off of you. Saturn has been in your sign for the last couple of years, and that’s never a light experience. You’ve had to do a lot of self-evaluation, take responsibility for things you didn’t want to, and faced the reality of your life. With Saturn moving out of your sign, you don’t feel that overwhelming sense of responsibility anymore, and you should have a greater sense of self and purpose. Sagittarius rules your money sector, and this is likely going to be the most obvious area that gets impacted. You can feel restricted financially for some reason, like having to pay off old loans and credit card bills, and if you’ve been financially irresponsible, you can really pay for it now. You need to take your financial life seriously, and take control of it. This is the time to save, not spend, and when you do spend, you have to be smart about it. You’re less likely to splurge on anything you don’t really need, and more likely to think about saving for rainy days and your future (though risky investments likely won’t be a part of your strategy right now). If you behave responsibly with your finances, you can be rewarded, and increase your financial security. Even if you have more than enough money, you’ll still feel like you need more and want more, and worry about securing your future financially. This is a good time to make long-term financial plans. You can also experience a decrease in self-esteem and confidence, especially if you’ve been achieving high self-esteem and confidence using unhealthy methods. You can focus on what you value in life, what you need to be secure, and what you feel is worth something, and the answers you have when this transit begins could be different from what they’ll be when it ends.

Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo on December 8th, and over the coming months, you can be lazy when it comes to your responsibilities, your career, your goals, and the path your life is on. Anything that comes up, you hope someone else will deal with or it’ll magically be dealt with on its own.

Uranus ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries on December 21st. Over the last few months, you’ve felt that too much change has been occurring with your work life or health, or that you’ve been bored with your routine and wanted a change you couldn’t make. Now that the retrograde is over, you can make the changes you want to make. Try to do your homework first.

A full moon occurs in air sign Gemini on December 6th, and this is a serious full moon for you. You feel a little down, depressed, pessimistic, and focused on the bad, and aren’t sure what good there is. You need to deal with whatever is making you feel this way, likely an issue that you’re running away from. You can also end a business partnership or finalize a new business agreement, or settle a dispute related to other people’s money (taxes, debts, loans, inheritances, joint finances). A new moon occurs in Capricorn on December 21st, and you can begin lots of small projects, take on a big mental project, see an opportunity presented to a sibling or neighbor, or to you through them. You try to be more optimistic with the new moon, and are in a much better mood.

SAGITTARIUS DECEMBER 2014

Hold on for a busy month! Mars enters air sign Aquarius on December 4th, and you have plenty of mental energy and then some. You may lack physical energy, but you have lots of mental energy that will need to get used up, otherwise you’ll get anxious. Take on lots of small projects that will keep your mind busy, and engage with others as much as you can. This can be a time of many conversations, sharing of information, and taking in new facts. You’re more curious, but you don’t necessarily stick with anything for very long. This can be a great time for schooling, teaching, writing, and dealing with young people. You may seem more scattered, difficult to pin down, and you can talk like your life depends on it. Slow down your speech or you’ll spin people’s heads.

Venus enters earth sign Capricorn, the sign after yours, on December 10th, and you enjoy relaxing, indulging, and kicking back. You don’t want to do too much, and feel that you need to take a break from it all and enjoy the moment. If single, you can meet someone who spoils you, or who is very stable and responsible. If in a relationship, you’re more passionate with your partner. This is a good time for improving your finances through a second job, side gig, or making money off of a hobby, and generally, you have the money that you need when you need it.

Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn on December 16th, and the Sun joins both of them in Capricorn on December 21st. Your mind slows down, and you don’t think so fast. You take your time with decisions, and don’t want to be pushed. The more you’re pushed, the more stubborn you become. It takes time for you to get started with anything, but you keep going to the end once you do. You’re more indulgent, and want to stimulate your senses. Just don’t eat too much! You can focus on your finances, and try to have more disposable income. You can take on more work, or rework your budget so you have more leftover. You may come across as sensual, stable, and lazy.

Saturn enters a new sign, your sign, Sagittarius, on December 23rd. Saturn has been in water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and will now begin his time in Sagittarius. For Sagittarius, Saturn is Sagittarius is a very serious time in your life. When Saturn tours through your sign, it’s a time of great responsibility, sometimes feeling overwhelmed by those responsibilities, and having to take a lot on that you may not feel you’re ready for. You have to take control of your life, own it and own your actions, and face what you’ve done and who you are. While Saturn was in Scorpio, you should have come to terms with issues from the past, let go and moved one from some big issues, and have less baggage to carry with you. If that’s the case, that makes this period easier for you, and you’ll have less resistance to everything. You’ll focus more on the changes that you need to make in your life that will help you as you go forward, ways in which you need to grow and become a better person, and how you can handle the responsibilities in your life. If you didn’t clean house while Saturn was in Scorpio, you have more problems with Saturn in Sagittarius. Saturn will take everything you’ve avoided and find a way so you can’t avoid it. You’ll have one problem after another, and this can be problems brought on by others, issues in various aspects of life, mental problems (including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, and paranoia), and even physical problems. You can get sick all the time, find out you have an illness or disorder, and your suffering is usually directly linked to your stress. The more stressed out you are, the worse you feel. You can’t run from Saturn, and that’s never more apparent than when he’s in your sign. You have to embrace everything Saturn, learn to live with him and his annoying love of lessons, and work on the lessons he has for you.

Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fellow fire sign Leo on December 8th, and over the coming months, you’re lazy when it comes to learning, studying, writing, and your beliefs. You don’t feel the need to deal with those things right now, and figure you’ll have another day for them.

Uranus ends its retrograde in fellow fire sign Aries on December 21st. Over the last few months, you’ve experienced too many changes in your love relationships, or felt bored in them and wanted to make changes but couldn’t. Now, you can try to make the changes you want to make, but don’t opt for constant upheaval.

A full moon occurs in air sign Gemini, the sign opposite yours, on December 6th, and you can end a relationship or take one to the next level. You can end a commitment or become more committed to something. You’re concerned with fairness, justice, and equality. You need more balance in your life, and the more out of balance things are, the worse you feel. A new moon occurs in Capricorn on December 21st, and you can be presented with a money-making opportunity, or take things into your own hands to improve your finances. You can make a big purchase, or make a new financial arrangement. You feel more confident, sure of yourself, and doubt yourself less. Emotionally, you’re more calm and even, and don’t get rocked by things as easily as usual.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 2014

It’s a busy month to end the year! On December 4th, Mars enters air sign Aquarius, the sign after yours, and you’re not as quick to start things now. It takes a while for you to be motivated enough to get up and do something, but once you get started, you keep going and going. You’re a slow burn now. Your senses are heightened, making you more indulgent than usual. This is an excellent time to deal with your finances, and you can work on improving them. Take on extra work, a second job or side gig, or try to make money off of a hobby. You can do very well now.

On December 10th, Venus enters your sign, Capricorn, and you’re charming, easy to get along with, and you seem more attractive than usual. This can be a good time to make changes to yourself physically, like buying new clothes, getting a new haircut, or having cosmetic surgery. If single, you have little trouble meeting potential suitors, and have your pick of the litter. If in a relationship, you want more time and attention from your partner, are more affectionate, and want romance.

On December 16th, Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn, and on December 21st, the Sun joins them both in this sign. Your mind quickens, and you come up with lots of new ideas. You’re excited about all of them, and want to pursue them immediately, but you give up quickly, losing interest. You’re enthusiastic about life in general, and have a positive attitude. You’re more focused on yourself than others, and are comfortable in the spotlight, getting attention, and require a little praise and attention to stroke your ego. You enjoy being around other people, and can be more social. You may come across as warmer, prouder, and friendlier.

On December 23rd, Saturn, your ruler, enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius, the sign before yours. It’s been in water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and now begins a tour through a new sign. For Capricorn, Saturn in Sagittarius is a period where you’ll need to focus on your past. Everything that you’ve been through in your life up until this point, you need to evaluate carefully and understand your subconscious motivations, what you could have done differently, what you learned that is helpful to you now, and what you have yet to learn that will help you in the future. You have to focus on your issues, your baggage, and start working on releasing and letting go. Your sign likes to hold things in until you explode, but that won’t work now. You can’t hold things in anymore. You have to face it. Whatever skeletons are in the closet, set them free. Whatever secrets are locked in the vault, take them out. This is a time of getting in touch with your subconscious mind, eliminating baggage that holds you back, and evolving spiritually and getting closer to your karmic destiny. It’s not an easy period by any stretch of the imagination. Facing the past is never easy, and we all have things we hold on to, afraid of facing them. The longer we hold on, the harder it is to let go, but it’s usually more important to let go of the oldest issues. This is a good time to enter into therapy, if you can or want to. You can also try to strengthen yourself spiritually, and this is therapeutic for you. The more you avoid dealing with your issues, the more you’ll see problems persist in your life. Many of you can struggle with bouts of insomnia, or slip into periods of depression. These are clues that you’re avoiding. Get ready to get dirty, dipping into the parts of your subconscious that you’ve never investigated - or wanted to. It’s messy, and you don’t like messy, but get over it. This is a mess that you need to wade through.

On December 8th, Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo, and over the next few months, you don’t want to deal with any issues that come up regarding other people’s money (taxes, debts, loans, inheritances, joint finances), or make any transformations. Your will isn’t as strong, and you just want to kick back.

On December 21st, Uranus ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries. Over the last few months, you’ve experienced too many changes regarding your home or family, or felt bored at home and with family. Now that the retrograde is over, you can make changes you want to make, but you should try not to do too much.

On December 6th, a full moon occurs in air sign Gemini, and you can finish a work project, leave your job, move to a new office or building, or see coworkers leave. This is a great time to give up a bad habit that you know you need to kick, like smoking. If you act in an unhealthy way, you can have problems now. If you try to make the right choices with your health, you can be rewarded now. Try to manage your stress better with this full moon, otherwise it can have an impact on your physically, and you feel lethargic or sick. On December 21st, a new moon occurs in Capricorn, and with the new moon in your sign, you can embark on a new journey, go down a new path in life, or start a new project. You’re pioneering and enthusiastic, and you feel ready to start something new now. This is your month, Capricorn, so make the most of it!

AQUARIUS DECEMBER 2014

We’ve got a lot going on in December! On December 4th, Mars enters your sign, Aquarius, and your energy surges. You have more energy than you probably know what to do with, and you need to stay physically active or you’ll become restless, impulsive, and too aggressive. It’s a good time to assert yourself, stand up for yourself, and you have greater confidence and belief in yourself. You can embark on something new that you work on for the next couple of years, and you’re enthusiastic and excited about the new journey. Just don’t lose focus quickly and move on to something else. Your anger can get the better of you sometimes, and you get into lots of arguments with people, but you don’t hold any grudges and forget about it right away. Watch out for being accident-prone, especially when you’re angry.

On December 10th, Venus enters earth sign Capricorn, the sign before yours, and you keep your affection behind closed doors, not wanting to show how you feel in public. You’re sensitive and vulnerable in love, and you listen to what you gut tells you. If single, you can meet someone who’s an artist, works in a confined institution (hospital, prison), or who needs your help. If in a relationship, you’re more clingy and want to spend more time with your partner.

On December 16th, Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn, and on December 21st, the Sun joins them both in this sign. Your imagination soars, and you don’t care to stay in the land of reality, only fantasy. You can get lost in the worlds you dream up. Dreams are more powerful for you, prophetic even, and you’re more intuitive in general. You do your best thinking when you’re on your own, and feel most like yourself when you’re alone. You don’t want to be bothered by other people and their drama, and prefer to keep to yourself. When you have to spend a lot of time around other people, it can drain your energy. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time alone. This can be a good time to do work in the background or behind the scenes. You may come across as more sensitive, compassionate, and emotional.

On December 23rd, Saturn enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius. It’s been in water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and now begins a tour through a new sign. For Aquarius, Saturn in Sagittarius will shift your focus on your future and your hopes and dreams. You’re the sign that rules the future, and the dreams you have for your future, so you may feel that Saturn is dulling your enthusiasm. You suddenly feel you need to be more practical when it comes to your future, make plans and know exactly what you’re going to do before you do it, and make sure your dreams are actually attainable. The problem is, you can take it too far, and you give up on dreams because you talk yourself out of them, believing they’re too improbable, but you’re really just afraid that you’ll fail. Even if a dream is improbable, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, nor does it mean you should give up on it. That all depends on your own life and circumstances, and if you’ve truly had a change of heart. But fear isn’t a good enough reason, and being such an intellectual sign, you surely know that. The key with this transit is to come up with plans for making your dreams reality. If you work hard and smart, do your homework, are honest with yourself about what you’re capable of and what you’ll need help with, and are patient with your plans, you can achieve almost anything. If you’re the opposite, you encounter blocks and opposition. If your dreams are your dreams for the wrong reasons, you’ll give up on them. If they’re for the right reasons, you might still give up on them, but temporarily. This transit can also impact your friendships, and you can see one or more friends leave your life. If so, you need to work on figuring out what a real friend is to you, what friendship means, and what you need from a friend. The ones who leave your life probably aren’t your real friends, and you realize that eventually.

On December 8th, Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo, the sign opposite yours, and over the next few months, you’re lazy when it comes to your loved ones and relationships. You don’t feel like dealing with anything, and leave it up to them.

On December 21st, Uranus, your ruler, ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries. Over the last few months, your mind has been difficult to control, you’ve been unsettled mentally, and you’ve felt off in general since Uranus is your ruler. Now that the retrograde is over, you can get control over your head, and feel more like yourself.

On December 6th, a full moon occurs in fellow air sign Gemini, and you can finish a creative project, end a love relationship, or take one to the next level. If single, you can meet someone you have a karmic connection to. If you have children, something can come to an end with them, and they’re more emotional. You’re more theatrical with your own emotional displays, and a little too dramatic. On December 21st, a new moon occurs in Capricorn, and you can be presented with an opportunity to do something behind the scenes, in the background, or where someone else gets the credit. You can go on a retreat and rejuvenate yourself. This can be a good time to let go of something you no longer need, and you feel good about it.

PISCES DECEMBER 2014

We end 2014 with a very busy month of December! Mars enters air sign Aquarius, the sign before yours, on December 4th, and your energy is low. You have a hard time working up enough energy to get done what you need to get done, so you may not be very productive right now. You do have plenty of energy to fantasize your day away, and get lost in your imagination. You can also focus on your spiritual self, and study a spiritual subject. This is a good time to focus on your unconscious motivations, the real reasons why you do what you do, and dive into your subconscious. It’s unsettling, but necessary. You should work on eliminating unnecessary baggage so you can move forward with less of a load to carry.

Venus enters earth sign Capricorn on December 10th, and you enjoy spending time with your friends, in groups, or focusing on your dreams. You can make new friends, benefit from being in a group, and come up with new dreams. If single, you can meet someone through a friend, date a friend, or try to be friends with someone first. If in a relationship, you want to connect with your partner as a friend.

Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn on December 16th, and the Sun joins both of them in Capricorn on December 21st. You do your best thinking with a friend or in a group. You want other people there to help you see what you’re missing, and give you various perspectives. You’re more open to original thinkers and innovative ideas. You come up with unusual solutions to problems. You feel most like yourself when you’re with a friend, in a group, or being your true self. You don’t want to pretend to be anything that you’re not, and accept all of your quirks. You can meet new people, join a new group, or take up a new cause. You may come across as more charitable, inventive, and aloof.

Saturn enters a new sign, fire sign Sagittarius, on December 23rd. Saturn has been in fellow water sign Scorpio for the last few years, and will now begin his time in Sagittarius. For Pisces, Saturn in Sagittarius puts Saturn in your career and life path sector. This is an interesting transit. For some people, it signals a time of great career success, especially at the very beginning or very end. If you’ve been working hard and smart toward achieving your ultimate professional goals, have had a good plan in place, and have exercised some patience and restraint, Saturn will reward you, and the rewards are bigger than you imagined, and can be long-term. If you haven’t done any of that, this is a time where you lack direction, are unsure of yourself and your path, don’t know what you want from life, and can have serious professional problems. Some of you may give up on your career entirely, and feel that you need to be doing something else. Some of you who do could go back to trying something that you’d given up on before and now realize is really what you want to do. You have to be honest with yourself about what you hope to achieve in life, and then not be afraid to go for it, but with a plan and some patience. Impulsive behavior won’t be rewarded. If you’ve been reckless in your career, done things like sleeping with the wrong people or taking bribes or lying about important work, that’ll come to light now and you’ll be punished. For some of you, you could lose your career entirely. For others, it’s a setback, and a big one, but you can work your way back if you work hard and smart. With Saturn in Sagittarius, you can work at strengthening the foundation you’re building your life on, and try to make it as solid as you can. The less solid it is, the more problems you can have with your goals, and the more you feel you’re going in the wrong direction.

Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in fire sign Leo on December 8th, and over the coming months, you’re lazy with your work. You want other people to deal with it, and put it off for another day. Your to do list will grow and grow. You also feel lazy with your health, and can fall of the diet wagon.

Uranus ends its retrograde in fire sign Aries on December 21st. Over the last few months, you’ve experienced too many changes with your finances, or have wanted to change the way you make money but haven’t been able to. Now that the retrograde is over, you can make the changes you want to make financially. Just don’t be too impulsive, or you’ll end up in the poorhouse.

A full moon occurs in air sign Gemini on December 6th, and you can finish a home improvement project, settle a dispute with a family member, or end a relationship with a relative. Something could come to an end for a family member. You’re more sensitive emotionally, and need to strengthen your internal foundation so you’re not so shaken at your core. A new moon occurs in Capricorn on December 21st, and you focus on your future, what your goals and dreams are, and you put together a plan to achieve them. You can be presented with new opportunities through a friend or group you belong to, or do something new with them. You’re a little idealistic, but have enough practical energy to temper that. You feel good about your future, and believe good things are coming for you.

Midmonth, you take things more seriously, but you may be so caught up in other things (especially work) that love takes a backseat and isn’t a priority. You have more love for your career than anything or anyone else, and you’re less affectionate and loving with those around you.

TaurusDuring the first half of December, you want more intimacy in your life, desire strong bonds with your loved ones, and can be a little more intense with your loved ones. Your jealous side can also come out, and it’s not a good look on you, so don’t take it too far. If single, you want someone who takes love seriously, not a jokester. If attached, you spend more time with your partner, being more emotionally and physically connected to them, wanting to be one with them.

If in a relationship, you’re more romantic with your partner, and want to have fun date nights and romantic rendezvous.

This can be a pivotal time for a casual relationship, and you decide where things are going, or if they’re going at all. You want to make sure that you’re friends first so you have a solid foundation to build the relationship on, especially earlier in the month. Later in the month, you wonder if you’re soul mates, and want to feel a karmic, spiritual link to them.

PiscesYou focus more on your goals and ambitions during the first half of the month, and give your loved ones the shaft. When you are around them, you’re much less affectionate and loving. You’re usually the sweetest sign in the zodiac, but you’re wrapped up in too much else to be that way. Don’t be too distant or your loved ones will think something is wrong with you. Let yourself connect with them, even if it’s only for a little while, so they remember that you do care.

The new moon on the 21st in your career sector helps push things forward even further.

TaurusThe full moon on the 6th falls in your money sector, and you can finalize a financial arrangement, terminate a financial agreement, or end a second job or side gig you’ve been working for extra cash.

Mars enters your career sector on the 4th, and you’re driven, ambitious, and have the energy to get things done.

On the 6th, a full moon occurs in your sign, and this is traditionally the time of year where you reap what you sow, benefiting from the good and smart things you’ve done, and being punished for the bad and stupid. Be prepared to adjust no matter which way it goes.

SagittariusYou try to focus on your finances during the second half of the month, and can see an opportunity presented to you with the new moon in your financial sector on the 21st, but your ruler, Jupiter, turns retrograde on the 8th, and this can throw you off in a subtle way.

It just takes a little more time.

CapricornAs the month of December goes on, you come out of your shell more, and are more open about what you’re working on.

The new moon in your sign on the 21st brings especially good energy for you to take advantage of and let yourself shine. The full moon on the 6th in your work sector lets you finish something you started some time ago.

AquariusMars enters your sign on the 4th, and you get a big boost in energy. You’ve been lagging behind, having hard time focusing on anything or getting anything off of the ground, lacking drive and ambition. Now, that begins to return, and you want to get going in a big way. This is helped by Uranus, your ruler, ending his retrograde (appearing to move backward) on the 21st. You’ve felt off in a subtle but ever-present way over the last few months, and that tiny nagging feeling that’s persisted goes away.

PiscesDuring the first half of December, you’re focused on your career and goals, and you want to make as much progress as you can. You’re productive, efficient, hard-working, dedicated, and focused, and you stick to the plans and promises you make. You know what needs to be done, and have no problem doing it.

This is the high point of your chart - will you see great rewards or great punishment?
